im going to repost what i wrote in response to the last story on this nigger has always been an insult and for as long as ive been alive its been a bad thing to call someone by which i mean socially stigmatized but its only in the last couple of decades that the word has become unspeakable as though it werent the meaning of the word that mattered or the intent or the racism behind it or the history of persecution but rather the word itself that was the problem and here we have one of the the consequences of that a classic book against racism banned because it uses the forbidden word i find that darkly amusing censorship often tends to bite you in the ass
